MODESTO, CA – 4 Hospitalized, Including Children, Following Head-On Crash on Santa Fe Drive Near East Hatch Road

Two-Car Collision Ends in Injuries in Modesto

 
MODESTO, CA (February 22, 2019) – Four people, including two children, were sent to a hospital following a head-on collision on Santa Fe Drive near East Hatch Road.
 
The two-vehicle crash happened when a 2000 GMC pickup truck was heading eastbound on Santa Fe Drive. For unknown reasons, the driver allowed the vehicle to cross into the westbound lane and crash head-on with a 2011 Ford Escape. The impact caused the Ford to overturn off the roadway and the pickup truck came to a rest, blocking both lanes of traffic.
 
The 30-year-old woman in the Ford was shuttled to a Modesto area hospital with cuts to her face and arms, and a 2-year-old boy and 6-month-old boy were also taken to a hospital for precautionary reasons. The Turlock driver reportedly suffered a broken ankle and was taken to an area hospital, as well.
 
Investigators are trying to determine what was the reason behind the crash.
 
Driving carefully at all times can minimize the risks of accidents. Watch out for trouble and drive defensively. We never know when accidents may occur and it’s best to be prepared.
